REVIEW: SOAP & GLORY WISH UPON A JAR

MAY FAVOURITES

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9 

Here are a few things I have been loving for the past month. I bought the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation because everyone was raving about it and now I too have been reaching for it every time I want to wear foundation! I have always had difficulties finding foundations that suit my skin as most of the time they just look awful but with my new skincare routine and a real techniques expert face brush I can finally get a flawless finish! I would definitely recommend it.

The e.l.f eyeshadow palette was something I bought just because it was so cheap (reduced to £5) and I wanted to have more variety in my eyeshadow colours as I only had different brown shades. I have been pleasantly surprised at how good this palette actually is, there are great everyday colours, a colour I use for filling in eyebrows and a few crazy brights for when I feel like something a bit different. The pigmentation is nice and they go on really well, but are quite small and I have hit pan on my favourite colour that I use as a base everyday.

The shampoo & conditioner by Alberto Balsam are something I have been re-purchasing for a while, however I only recently tried this gorgeous flavour Strawberries & Cream. It is an absolutely gorgeous smell and stays strong when hair is dry too, my boyfriend has never given me so many complements about my hair smelling SO good! I use them and then the S&G Clean On Me shower gel and it all just goes so well together. You can get them really cheap in drugstores and supermarkets which is nice and handy.

I have been living in Topshop mom jeans, I much prefer them to the joni jeans which I also have, they are comfier by far and I really love the way they look and feel, I have enjoyed styling them in different ways.

Lastly, I finally read 1984 and loved it and have been listening to Young & Beautiful by Lana Del Rey loads and have it stuck in my head. I love Lana Del Rey anyway but this song has really stuck out lately!

REVIEW: ELEMIS PRO-RADIANCE CREAM CLEANSER

Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser £29

So I have been trying out different cleansers lately, I started with the Soap & Glory The Fab Pore hot cloth cleanser and absolutely loved that and thought £10 was ok because I liked it so much but steep because I got through it quite fast, although they do supply a muslin cloth. I just love the fresh, super clean feeling of my skin after using cleanser, and the Soap & Glory one was exactly that. The Elemis one doesn't have that same freshness because it is more creamy and doesn't really have a scent but it leaves my skin feeling clean. Now, the price, £29 is very expensive for a cleanser for me (student here!) and I would not buy this myself (it was a gift) knowing that the Soap & Glory one does the same job better, in my opinion, and cheaper (although this product has 50ml more). So from my Soap & Glory starting point, moving upwards isn't necessarily better and I would re-purchase Soap & Glory over Elemis. My favourite thing about this product, that is better than the Soap & Glory, is actually the packaging because it is so much easier, cleaner and more efficient being a pump rather than having to squeeze from a tube yourself, the only annoying thing is that any cleanser that gets left in the tip of the pump goes hard so you need to wipe it away. 

Let me know if this review was helpful and what cleanser you love! I am about to start using a new cleanser, the Good Things Fresh Start Creamy Cleanser which I actually have high hopes for because I have just started using the accompanying moisturiser and am in love with it! Reviews to follow...
